As seen on Go Nintendo.
This is agonising. I mean, on the one hand, my favourite racing series of all time – Project Gotham – has a new game coming. But on the other…it’s not for the Xbox 360. It’s for the Zune. It’s called “Project Gotham Racing: Ferrari Edition”, and can be glimpsed oh-so-briefly in that Zune gaming video…
When the Zune Store opens up on the 360 later this year, you’ll need a 802.11n network in your house if you want to stream HD content. Microsoft’s current wi-fi adapter can’t do 802.11n. So they need a new one! This adorable little bunny is Microsoft’s new wi-fi adapter, currently doing the rounds at the…
Sony, in the future, when you release a firmware update, it would be really helpful if you told us all exactly what it was for. Earlier this month, it became apparent that the PS3’s upgrade to firmware 3.0 was causing problems for some people playing Uncharted. Yesterday, Sony released firmware 3.01. What was it for?…
Frozenbyte, the developers behind Trine, have announced that their fantasy platformer will finally, after a long delay, be making an appearance on the PlayStation 3. It’s due as part of this week’s PlayStation Store update, but how much it will cost, and whether it will appear in all stores or just Europe’s (the news being…
Infinity Ward announced at a press event in Los Angeles today that, to commemorate the release of the game, Microsoft will be releasing a brand new model of the Xbox 360 based on Modern Warfare 2. This new console will be black, with Modern Warfare 2 branding, and will also come packing a 250GB HDD…
Infinity Ward and Activision are, as you read this, holding a Modern Warfare 2 press conference. Not a press event, a press conference. Must be some good stuff in store. We’re there, and through the magic of liveblogging, so are you! – Microsoft will be releasing a special MW2 version of the Xbox 360, which…
The Zune HD is out today. Doesn’t yet have much to do with the 360, aside from these Zunes engraved with logos and characters from current and upcoming 360 games. They’re part of the Zune’s “Xbox Series”. Which basically means you buy a Zune, then pick from one of ten designs (pictured below) that can…
You’d be forgiven for thinking that the above headline is taking a liberty or two with a comment from Activision boss Bobby Kotick. Nope. Those words are straight out of the man’s mouth. Speaking at the Deutsche Bank Securities Technology Conference in San Francisco yesterday, Kotick said “The goal that I had in bringing a…
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (officially) announced yesterday that both WipeOut HD and WipEout HD: Fury are to be bundled together on a Blu-Ray disc and sold at retail. It’ll be out in Europe on October 16, and priced at £20 (USD$33). Even allowing for a wonky exchange rate, that’s a great price. No word on…
You may have noticed, you probably hadn’t, but the Nintendo Channel on your Wii has been updated, and it’s for the better. Take a look at that new UI! It’s clean, it’s useful, it’s a sign of what should be going down on all the Wii’s channels. And, behind the scenes, probably is. Updated Nintendo…
Not quite sure how this one slipped under the radar until today, but it’s been revealed that Bohemia Interactive and Black Element will be bringing us a remake of the ground-breaking 80’s classic Carrier Command. Built on Bohemia’s proprietary engine – the same one powering ArmA II – it looks set to excite anyone who…
Video game sales are down! There is doom and gloom! Wailing and gnashing of teeth! The sky is falling! Unless, that is, you’re in the accessory or peripheral business. A comparison by Gamasutra, using NPD Group numbers, has shown that while software and hardware sales in August 2009 were down on 2008’s numbers, sales of…
We point out the odd Steam sale here and there, but Steam isn’t the only digital download store on the PC. There’s also Direct2Drive, and for the next five weeks, they’re having one hell of a sale. See, the site is turning five, and to celebrate, a whole range of titles have had their prices…
Jimmy Fallon was at the MTV Video Music Awards. So was Jack Black, in character, as Brutal Legend‘s Eddie Riggs. Rolling Stone caught up with them as they asked the obvious questions. Sadly, Rolling Stone’s video player isn’t embeddable, so you’ll have to hit the link below to watch it. It’s about, oh, a third…
PSP games are notorious for going easy on gameplay footage during trailers. Ditto for the Gran Turismo series. So it’s nice seeing Digital Foundry put together their own Gran Turismo PSP clip, which features nothing but real gameplay. And as you can see, film grain or not, when you see it in motion this looks…
With my 360/Windows control pad and flood of “ports”, I play plenty of “console” games on my PC. But if Spawn Labs’ new HD-720 (catchy!) works as advertised, I could be playing many, many more. It’s a set-top box which you plug into your console, and then connect to your home’s wireless network. Once hooked…
Armadillo Aerospace – the company founded and owned by id boss and Doom co-creator John Carmack – has a good chance of winning itself $1,000,000 after taking an early lead in NASA’s lunar lander challenge. Armadillo’s Scorpius craft is the first in a field of entrants to successfully complete the requirements laid out by NASA,…
Activision haven’t exactly had the rosiest of relationships with console manufacturers over the past few months. Which would be a problem for a console games manufacturer, were they not working on games that didn’t even need a console. Speaking at the Deutsche Bank Securities Technology Conference in San Francisco earlier today, Activision boss Bobby Kotick…
The British charts are a mostly predictable thing. Nintendo games most of the time, football games when applicable, shooters at Christmas. But last week threw up a little surprise. Topping the charts was not Batman, not a Wii game, not a DS game, and definitely not Beatles Rock Band. No, coming in at #1 was…
